I have a mountain bike that I use.  I have carried it inside the r-pod but will be modding a rack for the outside.  I have looked at the folding bikes but they have not come up cheap enough for me to jump on one yet.  I also have to be careful they are large enough for me (6'4")

    Danette and I have fold up bikes they have the advantage that we can fold them both up and load them in the back of our SUV's and still have the rear seats in the up position. The disadvantage not as comfortable in riding as a larger heavier bike.     David

Terry's thread about his bike reminded me.  My wife and I are about to dive into the world of bikes.  We haven't owned any for ourselves in over 15 years, but we are about to buy one for each of us so we can ride as a family (the kids already have them).  My wife wants a comfy cruiser, I'm not sure what I want yet - a cruiser, a multi-speed road bike, a mountain bike, or a hybrid.  I'm not looking to spend a grand on the lightest and latest, at most a few hundred.

Anyone have any thoughts?
